They won the title Favorite Band, Duo or Group, beating heavy contenders such as Shop Boyz who launched their success through single 'Party Like a Rock Star' and teen heartthrobs group, Pretty Ricky.
Few minutes later, Rihanna who performed 'Umbrella' earlier that night, ascended the stage again to take Favorite Female 'R'n'B Artist.
